Reigentanz. Nach Gottfried Kellers «Hadlaub» is a 1897 oil by August Weckesser, a Impressionism work, depicting Dancing, held at Kunsthaus Zürich.
In the painting, a group of women in long dresses are dancing in a circle, holding hands. They are barefoot and appear to be in a forest or wooded area. The women are dressed in flowing white and light-colored dresses, and some have flowers in their hair. The scene is peaceful, with the women seemingly lost in the joy of the dance. The forest background is lush and green, with trees and foliage visible behind the dancers.
